The Senate Concurrent Resolution establishes the Task Force on Blight in Louisiana, aimed at studying and recommending a comprehensive plan to address property blight throughout the state. Recognizing the long-standing issue of dilapidated properties and overgrown lots, the resolution highlights previous legislative efforts to combat blight, including the Urban Land-Banking Law, the Slum Clearance Law, and the Louisiana Housing Preservation Act. The task force is tasked with developing a strategic plan to abate blight, utilizing data-driven decision-making and resource deployment, and is required to submit a report with legislative proposals by March 1, 2026.

The task force will consist of various appointed members, including legislative leaders, mayors from key cities, and representatives from relevant associations and state departments. The first meeting is to be convened by September 15, 2025, where members will elect a vice chairman and other officers. The task force will operate under the Open Meetings Law and will not receive compensation, except for per diem or expense reimbursements. It will dissolve upon submitting its report or by June 1, 2026, whichever comes first.
